Threats from eBay - but eBay fails to get it right

Ask the seller to cancel the UPI claim until his Paypal is cleared up or you figure out some other payment option. Glitches happen, especially on Ebay. What's the worst you think will happen to you?

As strictly a buyer, you have zero stake in the game, and zero to lose, so why don't you wait until they actually suspend you, which they are not likely to do, until you decide it's not worth your time anymore?

I've filed and closed actual Unpaid Item Claims against buyers, and don't think anything even remotely negative happened to any of them. As a matter of fact I just looked up all four cases that were still visible to me, and every single one of them are still active or non-suspended accounts.

I buy and sell on a eBay a lot and like others here have been on eBay since 1998 (that must've been a big growth year for them). I have maybe two or three issues a year out of probably a two to three hundred transactions so I try not to get too worked up...but when they do happen I know its going to be an incredible pain in the a$$ and calling their call center in Manila isn't going to help.
